Yesterday was news of jobs report and only 32,000 new jobs created in
July when 300,000 were expected.

The problem with the USA economy and world economy at large is the
induction of Global Free trade without consideration of the population
factor.
In the past decade the countries of China and India have enjoyed the
past 10 years with economic booms. But the West in the past 10 years
have seen nothing but declines in jobs and especially manufacturing. It
is a no-brainer that jobs have gone from stable rich countries to that
of overpopulated countries of China, India, Mexico.

That is what happens when you enact so called Free Trade and ignore the
factor of population size.

To correct this, Free trade must always consider prime and up front the
population density between trading partners. You can have Free trade
that is Fair trade between the USA and Europe simply because their
populations are near equal. But to expect Free trade between China and
the USA will never happen because of the imbalance in population size
that given time all the manufacturing jobs will end up in China. Mr.
Clinton was too dumb to realize this, and Mr. Bush was too stupid to see
it, understand it and stop it.

So the whole concept of Free Global Trading has to be sent back to the
drawing board. And the factor of Population has to be inputed into the
trading agreement.

Both China and India with respect to trading with the USA should be
limited to that of items that never can produce by themselves such as
bamboo shoots or mandarin oranges or spices.

It should not be the job of the USA to endorse the overpopulated masses
of China and India. Rather, it is the job of China to fix their own
overpopulation problem and once they fix it, then come to the trading
arrangements with the West.

The most bizarre thing of this whole story is what future historians
will laugh about because the future historians know that Population size
is the most critical factor in trading and why the USA in 1990s went
gungho into wanting Free trade with China and India pretending not to
know that all sorts of jobs of the West will be sucked out of the West
and end up in China/India. Future historians will laugh at the stupidity
and imbecility of USA politicians who are lured by a huge China and
India market and are so blind and stupid to not know that the jobs in
the West will flow in the opposite direction. So the USA ends up selling
a few bottles of CocaCola in China while 300,000 jobs in July flowed the
opposite way out of the USA and into China.

#1 Suspend Free Trade until population size is factored into trading.

#2 World economies are plagued by the cycle of recessions and expansions
and we must revise the Antitrust laws.

I would argue that the economists from 1999 to present day have been
wrong for these past 5 years. I would say that the USA and the world
economy has been in a Recession starting 1999 and that there was no
expansion during that period. I would say 1999 through 2004 was a
continual REcession period. Because oil prices have been on a upward
trend starting 1999.

I would say anyone who thought the economy was growing and moving up
during 1999 to 2005 was a fool because oil kept moving up. I would say
that Mr. Greenspans raising of interest rates is premature and that Mr.
Greenspan continually fails to appreciate the number one overriding
factor of economics-- the price of oil.

The reason July jobs report came in at 32,000 new jobs when it should
have been 300,000 is because the USA has Unfair trading with China and
India and Mexico and other overpopulated outsourcing countries, and
secondly because the price of oil.

So what needs to be done soon is a suspension of World Free Trade until
the population factor can be factored into the program.

And secondly, since oil is finite and its price steadly rising and
continue to rise is that the USA modify its Antitrust laws. Make it so
that any company during REcessions can buy out any other company it
desires. During Expansions which would be fewer than recessions because
of world depletion of oil, have governments actively busting apart huge
companies such as Microsoft, GE, Pfizer, Citibank etc etc.

We all witnessed when AT&T was busted apart in the Expansion of 1980s
and how the baby-bells fared nicely.

So, if Kerry gets into the whitehouse, to fix the economy is to suspend
Free trade until population is factored into the program. And secondly
revise the old Antitrust laws so that in a Recession companies are on a
buying spree of other companies and in a Expansion the government busts
apart the biggest companies. Then the economy of the USA will not be
this sputtering boom and bust every 5 to 10 years but a nice even flow
economy.
